Rotting Leaf Magazine
Description
Note: this publication may close early for submissions if they reach a submission quota; these early closures will not be tracked in this listing.
This will be a place for literary and experimental explorations of the eco-gothic, the eco-horrific, the eco-surrealist, and the eco-weird.
I believe that art is a legitimate and important way that humans engage with nature, and to that end, Rotting Leaf Magazine is meant to be a literary inquiry into what nature is and how we understand it.
